One thought on “what is the tablet fioricet used for?”

1. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

   Butalbital is in a group of drugs called barbiturates. It relaxes muscle contractions involved in a tension headache.

   Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It relaxes muscle contractions in blood vessels to improve blood flow. Fioricet is a combination of acetaminophen, butalbital, and caffeine.
   Fioricet is used to treat tension headaches that are caused by muscle contractions.
   Fioricet may also be used for other purposes.
   Butalbital may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Fioricet should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.
   Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day or if you have had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis). You may not be able to take medication that contains acetaminophen.

   You should not take Fioricet if you are allergic to acetaminophen, butalbital, or caffeine, or if you have porphyria.
   Before using Fioricet, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
   kidney disease,
   liver disease; or
   a history of mental illness or suicidal thoughts.

   If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take Fioricet.

   Take care always
